I find check rides scary.... tomorrows fun.

My scariest moments so far:
EFATO PA-28 with restart in the glide, no nice field to land in
Seneca engine fire on landing
Large Vne bust whilst sat on back seat PA-28, I was sure the wings would come off in the recovery.
Cessna172 control column mounting come loose in flight
Full avionics / radio failure PA-28 way out over the bay of Biscaye
Tailpipe fire A321, APU turned off (fuel saving) with 210 pax still onboard.
Proper windshear A320
Flying into a non-radar painting CB A321 at night
Severe turbulence A321
Captain loosing the plot on a go around A320

I am always amazed how quickly things can go from fine to life threatening in such a short period of time.
